Sen. Cornyn: Obama’s Policies Drive up Gas Prices

His green energy policies cause consumers to pay as much as 38% more for electricity.

“Despite $390 MILLION in taxpayer subsidies” – Are we INSANE? Billions are being flushed down Obama’s “green” scheme toilet. How many billions will we let Obama give to these green schemes. $16 Billion of the $20 billion in “green” company loans has gone to companies with ties to Obama or his campaign supporters. Its a big green slush fund for campaign cash. Time to run this bunch of Marxist corruptocrats out of Washington and back to Chicago where they like this king of political corruption.

The Destruction of The US Economy is Assured

Government strategy is misguided. It contradicts both common and economic sense. It will make the inevitable adjustment more painful. Instead of admitting their mistakes, government insists on compounding them.

Billions in foreclosed homes to go to connected investment companies

“[T]he federal government is about to dump millions of the foreclosed homes at fire-sale prices to hedge funds and private-equity firms with government connections. If you’re an individual investor who might like to get in on the action, forget it! You’re shut out of this deal.” – Addison Wiggin

Palin responds to Obama mocking drill baby drill

We should not be surprised by his detached attitude about America’s pain at the pump. He’s not interested in lowering the price of gas because exorbitantly high gas prices are one of his campaign promises.

Today’s Reckless Spenders Enslave Future Generations

A Whiff of Privatization

[D]on’t waste time trying to reform bureaucracies or make them more efficient. Only the profit-and-loss calculus in competitive markets can do that. Put any federal agency on the block if it is performing a function that conceivably could earn a profit, and sell it to the highest bidder. (If there are no bidders, you’re looking at an economically unviable operation, so axe it—unless our lives depend on it.)
